Police are asking for the public's help searching for a missing elderly man.

Florentino Gutierrez, 75, was last seen Nov. 1 near Woodlawn Lake, according to a missing person's report.

A woman who reported the disappearance to police — whose relationship to Gutierrez was undisclosed by officials — said he usually calls every few weeks to ask for money.

She said it was unusual that he did not call during the holidays.

Gutierrez, the woman said, is homeless and has an alcohol addiction. He has no medical issues except for arthritis, but police consider Gutierrez at risk because of his age, the report says.

His collar-length hair is partly gray and wavy, and he has a mustache and a goatee. Gutierrez is right-handed and his right eye is slightly misshaped, police said. He's about 5 feet 9 inches and 170 pounds.
